Russia may be related to the disruption of the GPS navigation system, which were recorded during NATO maneuvers held in Scandinavia, the broadcasting company Yle Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipili statement.
Technically, it is quite easy to disrupt a radio signal in open space. It is possible that Russia is behind this. Her capabilities in this area are well known, said Sipilia.

Earlier, the television company reported that the Finnish special services suspect Moscow of “interfering” with GPS operations. The country's center of aviation navigation warned Finnish pilots of failures in the navigation system. The most unreliable GPS signal was from the northern regions of Rovaniemi to the border with Norway and east of Kittil to the border with the Russian Federation. The system worked intermittently for two days - 6-7 November.
